I've been noticing a trend with my Arb sites and want to see if anyone else is having this happen to. I thought it might be smart pricing but from what I read if your smart priced you will be payed like .01 to .03 per click.

For example: My site only shows 1 Adsense add(half-banner), so I know I will get the highest pay out if clicked. My first 3 clicks are for $1.20 each but my last dropped to .50 each. I could see this happening if I had more than 1 adsense link to click but I don't. This is the 5th site I have seen this happening on. I would think if my first 3 clicks were worth around $1.20 each all my clicks would be between .80 to 1.20. But dropping down to .50 just doesn't make sense.

Anyone know why or experience this?

Be glad you are getting $0.50 per click during smart pricing instead of $0.10.

I didn't think it was smart pricing because it dropped after only 3 clicks and a lot of posters seemed to feel smart pricing clicks get paid .01 to .03 . If it is smart pricing, I'm thankful I still have a positive ROI.

But I was thinking the top advertiser droped their bid for certain hours of the day and this caused them to drop from the #1 spot and another advertiser took the as spot for a lower cpc than normal. (Don't have enough data to confirm this yet) No one else see's their 1 adsense links keep dropping?
 
Heh, my average click is way down, and I think the highest is 14 cents so far..... Did we get hammered by some quality score?
 
Those of you who are smart priced: how much content did you have on your pages? and how many clicks did you get before getting smart priced?
 
Here is what I have noticed. My value clicks (non 1-10 cent clicks) don't show up until about 5h after the click. The 1-10 cent ones seem to show up in under an hour.

As for smart pricing, I am pretty sure I am not totally smart priced. I still see some 50 cent clicks. But I run around 200 words, usually scraped, and edited so it makes sense.

200 words of original content. With only one ad link to click. Smart priced after 3 clicks and still dropping.
